Can you explain what you mean by sorcerer outcasts?


they were once apart of a guild of sorcerers which did not take kindly to them using their magic for stealing and attaining riches so they banished them and made them outcasts which is why they decided to start teaching others who were interested in becoming wealthy and formed the gang. is that enough of a reason for them knowing magic?

Am i the only person that thinks skywhales sound awesome? Because skywhales sound awesome. I can imagine myself riding one off into the sunset with a massive sword and a big treasure chest made of gold and diamonds, also with fireworks.

@Yog Sothoth: I'll be honest, if the Mage Academy didn't stamp down on it... well... a certain rumor(the thieves' guild) would take a very unwanted interest in their activities.

... And Rin and I have a hard time seeing actual magic users forming a street gang. ^^;

@Sam: They are in this setting because they are awesome, really.

So would a skywhale be a regular whale in the sky? Or would it be a whale with wings?

The image isn't working (EDIT: Oh, now it is. Looks kind of neat. XD). ^^; Also I have been joking with Vita that they basically look like Wailords for some reason.

Anyways, really need to sleep now so, um, yeah.

That looks very cool, but I was thinking a more baleen whale kind of creature. They're kind of... big, graceful, whale like but not actually whales... and they fly using a big air bladder that old airships used to fly.

The first of our NPC bios:

Name: Daniella Adelford
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Appearance: "Ohohoho, I think we'll have a lot of fun together."
Profession: Rich and Affluent Member of Society. Not at all the leader of a certain nonexistent thieves' guild. Why, such rumors are simply insulting.
Personality: Dramatic, and easily notable as "hammy", Daniella is the type of person who takes pleasure in everything that she does. Whether it be going to a party, spending time with friends, taking someone she likes out... Daniella is rarely exhibiting anything but joy. She is highly affluent and seems to make it her business to be in every party in the city, even if those parties are taking place on the same night. However, she feels simply insulted that people would rumor her to be connected with that silly fable, the thieves' guild. It's ridiculous. Why would she ever be connected with something that doesn't exist, let alone be the leader of such a organization? It simply boggles the mind! It's rather difficult to offend or anger Daniella, though she will make it very clear if you have succeeded in doing so.
Equipment/Weapons: Daniella certainly does not have a set of knives, a grappling hook, an enchanted glasscutting razor, or anything of the sort. Why ever would she have such things?
Abilities: Daniella most definitely does not know anything about subterfuge and infiltration to the extent of never once being seen, and she definitely does not have any control over the entire nonexistent thieves' guild. She certainly is a capable hand-to-hand fighter, however. She does need some way to defend herself, does she not?
Brief Backstory: Little is known of Daniella's history. She claims to have come from a poor family, and risen due to several extremely lucky breaks in her life. She also certainly did not become a thief who ascended to the leadership position of the thieves' guild for her incredible skill and performance after the death of the original leader, because the thieves' guild isn't real. It's silly to spread such rumors.

Name: Captain Morgan

Age: 76

Gender: Female

Race: Human (Airborn)

Appearance: Stylish and piratical!

Profession: Privateer Captain

Personality: Morgan is a very... enthusiastic person. She's prone to extremes of emotion, and declaring people to be her friends for life or worst enemies ever at the slightest provocation, and then following through with it, though moving from one category to the other is surprisingly straightforward (enemy to friend often involves violence). Doesn't seem to have the concept of an indoor voice down, either.
If you're her friend, you can expect her to go to the ends of the Earth to keep you safe from harm--and that anyone who threatens you is going to be in for a world of hurt.

Equipment/Weapons: Aside from her rapier, Morgan owns the sky-faring vessel known and dreaded as Marzipan. It is, in fact, a particularly large specimen of Skywhale. Whilst not as capable of carrying heavy loads as a normal airship, and definitely not as outright physics-defying as a purely magical vessel, she's much tougher, and capable of moving extremely fast if prompted.
She's not terribly shiplike: her back actually has a bunch of small houses on it and the like, and... well... Marzipan's primary armament are two ENORMOUS cannons strapped to her sides. They do, in fact, contain some cabins, and have to be operated from inside. They tend to fire very fragile, explosive cannonballs full of some alchemical gunk: of all an airship's moving parts are stopped, it's a sitting duck.

Abilities: Morgan is astonishingly physically strong, and her skin alarmingly durable. Mostly, this leads to her catching other people's weapons (assuming there's nothing all that special about them) before they'd hurt her friends. This includes, for example, a minotaur's axe.
She also has the innate magical ability to pump enormous amounts of heat out of her hands: the more worked up she is, the more heat, to the point she can make anything in her hands outright explode if she's being dramatic enough. And she often is.
Less aggressive skills include an amazing ability to predict the weather, along with navigate the skies, and a lot of experience when it comes to haggling over the prices of things.

Brief Backstory: Although born with the rest of her people, Morgan didn't really like it there too much and so, when she was old enough to choose what to do... she took all the money she'd saved, bought a young skywhale, and set off for Karstberg. For a few years, she did petty labour, waiting for Marzipan to grow up, and making friends with unemployed sailors.
And then Karstberg formally entered into a war with a more distant state. So she seized the opportunity, got a Letter of Marque, an commenced piracy and plundering all the city's enemies and any smugglers. In times of peace, she's focused more on policing the skies and keeping stuff off the black market, but war... well, she finds being a straight-up pirate a lot more fun.
More resistance, for one.


Race Name: Human (Airborn)

Race Description: Essentially a group of humans that decided living on the ground was beneath them many, many centuries ago. Given the originals' prodigious magical talents, and the magically infused diets that have resulted from shunning the ground like they do, the race as a whole is plain superior to humanity physically and health-wise, and the culture itself encourages magical talent. They are, however, exceedingly rare in normal society, and isolationist in the extreme.
Have lots of skywhales.

I was wanting to create an independently operating police/guard type with the authority to crack down on crime, would that be possible in this setting?

Hmm... it depends on how you mean. I think you mean they'd officially be part of the Watch, right? But operating on their own?

My intention was for her to be a magical enforcer who specializes in resolving magic-related crimes, operating outside of the main body of the Watch, but still very much part of them. She would have freedom to act on her own, but the Watch has all of the authority to call her in when they need her.

Magic specialist? Magic specialist.

Name: Maribel Fall; Aliases~ Bella Mahou, Magic Detective Maribel, Mary/Bella.
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Profession: Enforcer/Private Investigator
Personality: Cheerful and sly, Maribel has never been the type to let a good bit of enjoyment pass her by, and while she has a strong sense of justice, her unconventional methods often put her slightly outside of the law. Still, she's surprisingly reliable and very competitive, making her a great partner for any joint operation. She believes strongly in her own strength, her free-spirited nature makes her unsuited for standard Watch duties, but she believes she can make a difference even without a uniform. While she loves magic, she doesn't like sitting still for too long, making her more of the practical sort than the studying type.
Equipment:
  • A pocket watch of gold. Has no special abilities, but carries fond memories.

Abilities:
  • Top-notch physical capabilities

  • Skilled martial artist

  • Genius Mage

  • Strong detective skills (Intuition, Investigation, Interrogation)

... Aoko!

As much as her appearance being Aoko is amazing, um, we need to know what spells she knows and if there's any major backstory that's being hidden. If you want to keep all that hidden, we can get it over PM.

Also, she has clothing that fits the time period, right?

Name:Luna Shinua
Age:164
Gender:Female
Race:High elf(sorry for missing ears)
Appearance:
Missing ears sorry
Profession: Florist/alchemist
Personality:Though mute, and quite reserved Agatha still has a lot of subtle personality traits that make her who she is.The most major trait is her overwhelming love for aesthetics, even her self defense techniques have to be beautiful or she refuses to use them. She has a real passion for her work often healing those without money for free. Although her communication with her patients is limited she still finds many ways to talk to them even if it takes playing charades with them.
Equipment/Weapons:She wears red robes with shoulder and waist covering plate mail. She also has silver bracelets and collar.
Abilities:She excels at casting magic that manipulates the world around her particularly strong with making poison and healing. materials.. Her particular brand of magic is called crafting magic.
Brief Backstory:(I'll leave a lot of this TBR, but i'll tell you her perspective.)
Although there has been many tails of Lunas past before she was adopted by a mage seeing untapped potential in her. She was believed to originally be from nobility which often explains her ability to cast magic from such a early age as she recalls having many tutors teach her magic at such a young age.Though due to her lack of speech it has faded from record and even her memory. After though, her great prowess as a mage intrigued her master her taste for the darkness often scared him. Though eventually he found some form of hope in her affection for the cat she was found with midnight. Although cruel to midnight he inspired her to start using light magic threw getting her to accidentally injure the cat, and make it afraid of her till she healed it, and had multiple other scenarios were he intentionally injured the cat till she healed it. Although it wasn't very kind to the cat she eventually began healing the other children instead of using her magic in a attempt to make them do as she wanted when they didn't understand why she couldn't talk. Though she isn't a child anymore, and midnight isn't around she does have a happy life healing others, although now actually needing to hold a light fee so she can pay her living. She still visits her old master/care taker every day in the morning and happened to have some souvenirs from her child hood, two kittens dawn and dusk.
Fate mage-This magic gets it's name for one simple reason the fact that it's usually the deciding factor whether you live or die if it's used on you. It is a life manipulation magic often associated with star signs. and the astral planes, but is only truthfully known to have the power over living beings. Though seemingly pure the magic has a lot of grey points. As one can kill someone to save another life, or vice versa. The oddest part about the magic is that it causes the user have increased regeneration both physical and magical. Even the most adept warlocks have only been able to scratch the surface on why this happens.+
